about

Representing heritages from Mexico, Peru, Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic,Chile, and Costa Rica, DIEZ is a multi-hyphenate ensemble of intergenerational Latiné artists, comprising of Peggy Robles-Alvarado, Phillip Gregory Burke, Adrian Costa, Diego Lanao,Tanya Perez, Nilsa Reyna, Rebbekah Vega-Romero, Jaymes Sanchez, Daniela Thome, and Andrew Aaron Valdez, amplifying our diverse backgrounds, through the performing arts. 

Our cohort first met, as inaugural 2023 Summer Jam Fellows, created by Darrel Alejandro Holnes.

As artistic agents of change, our programming demystifies the playwrights’ process, allowing community members to engage intimately with the creative procedures of working artist’s narratives, with the expressed hope of redefining community-minded artistry. Championing communal and pluralistic imaginative practices, we aim to leverage this pivotal theatrical moment, by distributing the equity missing in the American theatre with innovative work that curates our stories with cultural care.
